The CHEVROLET CRUZE (2009-15) 4DR SALOON 1.8 141 EU5 LT is a compact family saloon, offering a four-door alternative to the hatchbacks on UK roads. It sits in the mainstream used-car market, appealing to buyers wanting roomy passenger space and a separate boot without moving up to a costlier car. Across 181 mycarcheck.com look-ups, covering 78 distinct VINs, the Cruze averaged £1,500 in private-sale value and 87,000 recorded miles. Annual mileage averaged 5,000, while cars had around four to five previous keepers. These figures offer useful context for a used example, though each car’s condition and history will differ today. The 1.8-litre petrol engine offers lively everyday performance, and LT trim adds useful equipment. It suits commuters, couples and families needing comfort and boot space; smaller hatchbacks may cost less to run. Against rivals such as the Ford Focus saloon, the Cruze stands out for value and generous space overall.
